Your Ideation Stage Hardware Start-up Accelerator

We bring your invention ideas to life with the right resources and take you to thrive, not just survive in the market.

From Ideation to GoToMarket

Making Hardware is Hard. Innovation Drive makes it easy.

Our Earth runs on resources and is based on atoms rather than on bits. Thus, our real progress mainly depends on producing and selling innovative physical products, such as hardware products.

If the printing press was about “anyone can read,” the web about “anyone can write,” the hardware eco-system that changed is enough to say that today “anyone can build.” The idea – anyone can build – is the cornerstone of the new “hardware startup.”

Hardware is designed for the Internet of Things, that is, IoT devices connected to the internet, 3D printers, drones, and robots that are in today’s headlines, which actually has quite a lot to do with software. But they can also be any physical products, such as a sustainable pencil that is purely hardware with no software element.

Hardware is...different, different than software. Challenges are everywhere in designing, manufacturing, getting funding, hiring, innovating, and delivering to the customers.
